Return Value

Calling this method invokes a network operation to retrieve the value of a property. The property specified may be any one of the properties on an entity, including properties which represent associations or links. If the property represents an association or link or a deferred property, calling this method provides the client with a way to lazily load related resources. If the entity is in the modified state, the property value loads related entities and marks them and any links as unchanged.

If the property is already loaded, calling this method lets you refresh the value of the property.
